SINCE the execution-style killing of Courtney Crum- Ewing, who was laid to rest on Wednesday following a well attended funeral, Crime Chief Leslie James told this publication that for those responsible for the murder to be brought to justice, the police need the assistance of all Guyanese.He however asked that persons who may have information to come forward, call in or even send an anonymous note.
He explained that for the police to solve this case it requires the help of all citizens and encouraged persons to volunteer the relevant information which will aid in their current probe.

After Crum- Ewing’s execution, there was a public outcry for justice,so much so that in a section of the print media, the telephone numbers of that media house were listed along with the telephone numbers of the police seeking the public’s assistance in bringing the perpetrators to justice.

Since the murder two suspects were held and later released, after the police failed to come up with evidence to link them to the crime.

Even President Donald Ramotar, who was speaking at the opening of the Guyana Police Force Annual Officers’ Conference last week, charged the hierarchy of the Force to go wherever the case takes them

The police have also detained a car that was suspected to have been used in transporting the men who gunned down the father of three with a volley of bullets that left him lying in a pool of blood on the roadway with three gunshot wounds.

The police last week were reviewing video footage from which they were able to pick up the registration plate of a vehicle.

However, it is not clear whether they were able to ascertain the documents of registration of that vehicle the police impounded when they arrested the two persons for questioning in relation to the murder.

Crum-Ewing, a former student of Queen’s College who excelled in sports, and a former soldier, was killed on the evening of March 10 in the New Diamond Housing Scheme, East Bank Demerara.

At the time he was using a bullhorn to encourage residents to vote come Elections day.

He was fatally shot three times to the head and left lying in Third Avenue in a pool of blood with his bullhorn a short distance away.
